Hmrn... I'm not liking Toyota's newest offerings. Bulky, plasticy... not the Toyota I've known and loved all my life. Oh well, maybe I'll get used to it. I don't think so though.

That looks like the new Frontier!!! It is defintely not the new Taco or Hilux. Look at the front light and the fenders, compare to Frontier pics and new Taco shots on other pages.

bulldog-yota is right, that is the Nissan. That isn't the Tacoma at all. Look at the taillights, rear bumper area, bodyside shape, A-pillar, entire front end, door handles.

Maybe it's the 3rd world version of the Frontier- you know how those have a different/decontented look to them.

I went to the site listed on the photo. The photographer/author claims it's the new JDM Hilux prototype shot near the Toyota Tech Center outside of Bangkok. The story is that the transport driver was off eating lunch. Presumably, he's now off looking for work.

No way it's a toyota. It doesn't look anything like the prototypes and a hell-of-a lot like the new frontier....

I love your "who would osama vote for" link in your sig... priceless and oh, so TRUE

Yeah the Nissan circle logo isn't there... good eye Bud. Maybe a 3rd world version of the Tacoma? I guess the A pillar looks like the Taco spy photos but the rest doesn't.

What do they call the Frontier in other parts of the world?

those new bronco's look pretty cool... built in winch.. i'd take one of those in a heartbeat, the FJ concept is cool too, i've always loved the 70's FJ40, FJ60 landcruisers, offroad machines
BTW.. where do yall find other pics of the new taco and whatever?
